Frequently asked questions from Gravesend drivers
Can a bent frame be straightened?
Most yes. Severe bends or torn structural members may require partial replacement. Computerized measurement tells us exactly what the geometry needs and we pull to OEM tolerances.
Do I have to use the body shop my insurance recommends?
No. Under New York Insurance Law §2610, you have the right to choose any licensed body shop. Your insurer cannot require you to use a specific shop.
Do you do third-party liability work?
Yes. If you're not at fault, the at-fault driver's carrier pays — sometimes including your rental, deductible reimbursement, and diminished value.
Do you offer a warranty on body shop work?
Yes — lifetime workmanship warranty against paint failure, peeling, and repair workmanship defects for as long as you own the vehicle.
Do you do hail damage claims?
Yes. We file with your carrier and submit panel-by-panel damage maps. Comprehensive coverage typically waives glass deductible.
